Projective structures on a hyperbolic 3-orbifold (Q2043341)

Let \(\Delta\) be an ideal hyperbolic tetrahedron with dihedral angles \(\pi/6\), \(\pi/6\) and \(2\pi/3\) at the three edges bounding each face, and let \(O\) be the hyperbolic \(3\)-orbifold obtained by gluing the two faces of \(\Delta\) containing each \(2\pi/3\)-angled edge \(e_i\) \((i=1,2)\) with the \(2\pi/3\) rotation about \(e_i\). In this paper, the authors show that the space \(X\) of real projective structures on the orbifold \(O\) modeled on a \(3\)-simplex is parametrized by traces and by cross-ratios, and that \(X\) is an open cell of dimension \(2\).
